Frank Capra

Capra was nominated six times for Best Director Oscars, and
took home three of the statuettes over the course of his career. Only John
Ford ever bettered this record-- he won four.

the first picture in the history of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences to receive all of the "Big Five" awards: Best Picture,
Actor, Actress, Director, and Writing.
